roll up your sleeves

1.&nbsp

First soak shiitake in very hot water. Also soak noodles in very warm water. Start preparing all your veggies and tofu – you need everything prepared before cooking.

2.&nbsp

Cut carrots and bell peppers to sticks, slice the onion and garlic, cube the tofu. If you will use chili slice it also. At the end of your prep drain shiitake and slice them also.

3.&nbsp

For cooking I recommend using a large wok or pan. Heat it to the maximum possible, add oil and add tofu. Sitir fry it for two minutes or so, until it is golden brown and put it in a bowl and set aside.

4.&nbsp

Put your wok/pan back to the heat and add massaman paste, mix it quickly and add veggies. Stir-fry them only for a minute (they will continue cooking with noodles) then add noodles. Whit a help of a spatula constantly mix and flip your noodles. Add coconut milk, tofu and if needed water (water will be needed if your noodles haven’t been soaked long enough. You might need from 1 to 2 dl). Stir and flip constantly until you see that you noodles are nicely cooked and everything is incorporated nicely. Add holy basil, stir one last time and serve. I really recommend sprinkle of sesame oil – the flavor is just heavenly.
